New 14.9″ Screens for Mercedes-Benz

A Mercedes-Benz, from its smallest city cars up to its high-end S-Class and G-Class models, is the sort of vehicle you aspire to. While many of its models are practical options, they also come with an expectation of luxury, elegance and effortless smoothness in use. They’re also well built from the start, with that famous German engineering apparent in everything. This means that drivers are likely to get their money’s worth out of a Mercedes, often doing high mileages and keeping them for longer - long enough that a more affordable model may have given up the ghost.

In-car technology, microprocessors and computers tend to move rather quicker than the more established mechanical components of a car. This means that your in-car electronics and entertainment systems may feel slightly dated long before your engine and chassis do, and the ability to put 150,000 miles-plus down easily might mean that your stereo needs an upgrade before anything else.

With this foremost in our minds, XTRONS is pleased to introduce new upgrades for your Mercedes-Benz, with spectacular hi-res 14.9” screen design. Expanding an already-extensive product line that includes accessories for BMW and Audi models, the focus on high-end models continues with these new units for the “other” German giant. These incredible stereos will keep your interior fresh while you continue to purr along on those incredible long-lived underpinnings.

There’s a clear trend in the aftermarket - drivers want cockpit layouts that feel current, are easier to interact with, and integrate seamlessly without a great deal of technical knowhow from the consumer. A larger and more modern display is often hugely desirable for drivers of older models, and we wanted to deliver something that integrated well into premium dashboards, while containing all the modern upgrades you could ask for.

Why 14.9” is the Sweet Spot

Large-format displays are no longer reserved for new vehicles rolling out of the factory. For many owners, an upgrade is about bringing a familiar car up to today’s expectations. A larger screen offers better visibility for maps, media, and vehicle information, while lending the cabin a contemporary, premium look. They’re also more comfortable to interact with, giving you bigger UI elements, easier-to-find buttons and a simpler interface to look at, meaning you see everything you need at a glance - crucial for safe driving! While drivers may have different priorities, the story is consistent; a larger, sharper display makes everyday driving tasks feel more intuitive.

Visual Clarity for the Perfect Response

Immerse yourself in the brilliance of the 14.9″ IPS Screen, with 2k clarity and an ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio. Enjoy vibrant colours, sharp images and an expansive feel in use. Seamlessly access content and apps without tab-switching for ultimate convenience. The custom silver bezel outline continues the premium theme in the cabin even when not in use too. There’s even an old-fashioned clock to blend the unit in seamlessly, demonstrating the link between the digital and analog worlds.

Powered by a genuine 12nm octa-core processor, this unit offers greater performance with lower energy consumption, taking on any processing challenge effortlessly. Effortlessly blend the latest Android tech with your car’s original system. There is no original CD player removal required, so you get an easy installation and a tidy, factory finish. A smarter way to do it.

Did you say connectivity? These units have it where you need it, with integrated 4G, DAB+ connection, wi-fi and USB connection. The stereo also talks to your Mercedes' onboard computer seamlessly, meaning full support for your COMAND system, reversing cameras, amplifier, and even your CD player. There are also wireless phone connections, with Bluetooth, CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.

Compatibility
